Poinciana, Florida ~ Florida’s Most Puerto Rican City

Explaining why this area of Florida is attracting many people from La isla del encanto! ❤️ *Lake Buena Vista, Kissimmee and other nearby CDP may actuality be more Puerto Rican will depend on how recently stats quote were noted. Overall this area is known to be a fast growing section due to Puerto Ricans moving here.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Along interstate 4 about 500,000 Puerto Ricans live! Lake Buena Vista, Ponciana, Kissimmee

[@emmanuelcolon4760]

To everyone, please don’t move to Poinciana. It may be cheap but it’s nothing but traffic and a very unwelcome community. Please look elsewhere like Davenport or Haines City

[@elizalippard9209]

Thank you for making a video about poinciana. There’s a lot of Puerto Ricans in Kissimmee as well.

[@luismiguel483]

Cual es la idea de hablar tanto de puerto ricans being US citizen? El video es de Poinciana, clases de historia, immigration, or just to insult people calling them stupid,ignorant etc? Yo puse tu video para conocer Poinciana y que hay ahi.

[@jorgegl3306]

Tantos cubanos y dominicanos que hay en Puerto Rico y mira que hablan mierda de nosotros!🤦🏻‍♂️

[@larrywalker9117]

I used Live In Poinciana A long time ago 👋🏽😭 this is bringing back memories already

[@prdivamom]

I am 🇵🇷 & YES I have a JOB that helps me afford the lifestyle I want so YES lots of US🇵🇷 work really hard & have JOBS .. straight out of NYC & YES I’m a YANKS fan & YES I drove a civic years ago🤣but I’ve since upgraded $$$$

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

LOL wepa

[@edwinmartinez2528]

Never had a Civic. I do have a job, and so do my neighbors. There are a lot of hard-working Puerto Ricans in Poinciana. Stay away from stereotypes. It's not a good look.

[@scarykidsscaringkids123]

I love Puerto Ricans cause of them I realize I needed to move to Tennessee cause I realized I don't like to be around loud ghetto ppl

[@flatbushbk648]

Poinciana is beautiful for sure big homes!!!

[@ahimnieves127]

hey brother, great video man I’m a Puerto Rican married 20 years to a Cuban. We live here in south west Florida Lehigh acres so I can definitely relate to everything you’re talking about from both size Cubans in Puerto Rican. God bless you man we gotta stick together.

I almost bought down there. You can get a lot for your money but there is nothing down there and the traffic to get to the city is horrendous. When they build an outlet road those prices may double. I bought I st Cloud near lake Nona instead.

[@Montanez823]

That's the definition of a suburb buddy.😅

[@jermaineflowers1538]

@@Montanez823 being an ex resident of an atI suburb I see what you're saying, but down there it's excessive. 😵‍💫 ...It's bad enough coming up narcoosee during the rush. When they build another outlet Rd. property values are going to shoot up tho because the house's down there are big, nice , and with pools.

We moved to Poinciana and love it after surveying the Orlando area . The Prices are good the traffic at rush hour & weekend is bad but new roads and using certain roads at certain times is the way around it. Love the culture & people very friendly.

Poinciana is the kind of place people who dream about moving to Florida on a budget salivate over when they see the new”ish” 90s style houses that are priced low compared to everywhere else but 30 minutes after they move there they realize the place sucks bad.Bad crime,sketchy people,bad traffic and it takes 90 minutes to get to your job in Orlando.There are heavy Puerto Rican areas in Kissimmee like Hunters Creek that are good areas and in a much better location.Poinciana is another example of its cheap for a reason,but I will say it’s gotten better than 10-12 years ago after the recession,back then you might get up and find someone sleeping in your back porch.

[@postingmyclips2695]

very true. crime rate is real bad for such nice houses, most streets lack any lighting, car accidents are regular and traffic is the worst ive ever seen. lived here 16+ years and just a month ago they finally decided to build gas stations, I used to drive 15 miles to the nearest gas station

[@biancalucia8388]

Don’t like Kissimmee or hunter’s creek. Everything looks so similar. I prefer my small town in North Florida

[@BraveFencer]

Most people are ghetto/sketchy in Florida rich or poor it doesn’t matter with the exception of a few places it always feel that you’re in the ghetto even though it might not look like the ghetto

[@sandra97]

I lived in Poinciana for a little over 2 years. I left in 2021 and I legit have horrible PTSD flashbacks from living there. I fell for the huge house for cheap trap smh. I used to hate coming back home to my McMansion. There is nothing in Poinciana but houses, upon houses, upon houses. And the way you see everyone’s backyard when driving on the road. Lordttt help me. No decent restaurants except for La Granja. Even the fast food places were horrible. Bad service. Bad traffic. Bad schools. There weren’t any good family parks/playgrounds for kids. No welcoming community vibe. I could go on. I do not have one good thing to say about that place. The whole time I was there I felt like that commercial where the dark cloud follows the blob around. I was the blob.

[@heidiguz88]

Thanks for such an honest comment ! No matter how this video is trying to portrait a nice picture of it I’ve always heard it’s not a good area!

[@tessamarsh9796]

I know this is old, but I totally agree with you. Nobody could ever convince me to live it Poinciana.

[@Lonewolf25002]

😂 Lived there. The houses are large! When I lived there, there was a Publix and Home Depot; later a Walmart was built. I understand there is now a hospital. It was a looooong drive to get anywhere. Going to Orlando was a day trip. I will say that when I got back home, it was quiet at night and I had a very large yard. But, I would not rush to move back.

[@antoniocledesma1446]

It is a very demonic area too much cultural ancestral worship of demons that's why it's also so unwelcoming as you mentioned very tribalistic people here Puerto Ricans and West African Haitians if you're not islander it's tough ghetto cultural people sadly

[@giovannicarmona7792]

Poinciana seems boring lol

It is bro there are kids that just do bad stuff like fights,car hopping, block parties Etc it’s cause we are bored

[@hustleno-filta5373]

I moved there at one point with my granny in 1999 I was 9 I then moved back to London I wish I stayed I would have had a Rican woman 🤣🤲🏾

[@abdielmccarthy5796]

Accidents have risen up there from within the past 10 years living there. Also home prices are going up drastically, it’s cheaper to buy homes in some other southern States. Not cheap anymore.

[@rivera6180]

Civics? More like Corollas and Yaris. Camrys for older Puerto Rican folks. I can confirm that because… I’m from there. Lol.

[@WilliamLeonard]

Jajajaja I like your description of Puerto Ricans lol specially the part where they buy a Honda civic or a bit up Corolla lol

[@irmazamot7363]

I love Ponciana , I wish I can rent a house or Estudio for mi and my son.

Many puertoricans are returning and the economy is better than in 2017 for the hurricane. Everything was rebuilt. Do no talk about PR from ignorance

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Cubans and Puerto Ricans.. same crap different name 😅

[@namelesswon3512]

I agree.. I am PR and I tell people the difference between PR and and Cuba is a Boat stop. I love my Latinos no matter what or where they are from. It is the best culture in my opinion. But you have good and bad just like any other culture or ethnicity

Are there any stores,shopping centers in this town of Ponciana? I don't see anything but roads, houses and trees? Where'd you get your PR, Cuban information from? I'd like to follow up n research it?

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

Google. Yes there are stuff but not in this area

[@VictoriaRodriguez-by3fs]

@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Thanks, love your exploration videos. You and Katie are soo cute together.

[@joannecastro9794]

There are a lot of stores…just more open plaza type of store. Not malls. A lot of places to eat….smaller restaurants and family owned not so much of the big chains. The traffic unfortunately it is terrible. It is a good place for retirees and people that don’t have to commute to Orlando. If that is not your issue then you can buy land and house for great price. Like everywhere there are spots that look tougher than others. There are a lot of NYRicans and JerseyRicans there that sell their 2/2 in NY/NJ for 500k plus and easily can come over here and almost buy a house cash, but then again….it’s the same population from NY/NJ that lived in those 2/2….poor NY/NJ that live like kings in FL, but they mind set is the same hence why the area got a little ghetto….sad but true. I am PR so I can talk lol. I used to live in Pleasant Hill Rd back in 2002-2010….right when it was good to buy, but we were able to see the rapid growth and working in Orlando…the traffic was just too much. We sold our house and move to Lake Nona area where we are experiencing the rapid growth again…Narcoossee traffic is terrible, but the area is so up and coming it’s very expensive. I’m glad I bought when I did. Just check all areas….depending on your needs and what is important for you…there is a place for everyone here. Just please remember why you moved here…please keep your crazy politics that drove you out of your state over there. Don’t try to make our FL your up north state. Ty!

[@lee11308x]

That doesn’t make sense. How can anyone obtain a house without a job?! What are you implying?! Lots of hardworking, college educated, tax paying Puerto Ricans exist including myself and my family.

[@joselassalle9292]

Two words youll hear in any store in Poinciana is Meeta and Popi, so i call them MeetaPopis. Gotta love Poinciana home of the Honda Civic with the PRP exhaust (Puerto Rican Pipe) i had a long time white girlfriend who lived here , it was a tough drive for some so so pu$$y This place has grown so MUCH in the 20 years since i was going down there.Horrible drivers omg

Too many idiots that drive with their highbeams on over there. If you can't see, you shouldn't have a license. Also they don't stop completely at stop signs and stop lights when turning right.
